Re: i5 520 Governor's Effect on LPAR

You have 500 cpw to play with and this means two partitions maximum. Each gets 250cpw (+- 10) so your partitions will each get 'half' the CPU. If you want to use more than 500 you need to activate it by purchasing more cpws.

The 500cpw i5 520 actually has a 1.5GHz POWER5 processor capable of
2400ish cpw.  The models selling lower cpw values than this have only a
fraction of the available processor cycles accessible.  This is the
governor to which I was referring.

What governor?

Subject: i5 520 Governor's Effect on LPAR



I have an i5 520 500CPW development box arriving soon and I'm wondering
about possibly investigating some AIX/Linux development on it as well.
If
it were set up to have an AIX or Linux LPAR would this use the portion
of
the processor not accessible to OS/400 due to the governor or would it
effectively reduce the OS/400 cpw I'd be able to use?

Thanks,
